The yen price is wrong, definitely..

Wii launched at 25,000Y and they need the yen profit to make up for weak dollar/euro. Nintendo nearly always has the yen to dollar price in a in a *100 scenario. So if WiiU is $300, then it will be 30,000Y.

Example, 3DS launched at $250/25,000Y now its $170/15,000Y. If they do similar to 3DS pricing, then I think at best we'll see a 25,000Y launch. Definitely no where near 20,000Y if its $300 in US.

The Yen is weakening, too (and the dollar/euro/sterling thus strengthening by comparison), which makes them pricing it so far under make less sense.
